Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about CAT EYE NAILS.

On natural nails with gel polish, the cat-eye effect can last two to three weeks depending on upkeep. For acrylic or extensions, longevity matches the base application. Avoid harsh chemicals, wear gloves, and schedule fills to extend life and preserve shine.

Yes. Cat-eye pigments integrate with gel polish and gel overlays on acrylics or extensions. Technicians magnetize pigments before curing for the effect. Tell your technician whether you want two accent nails or the full set so they can adjust time and price.

Pricing is simple: $10 to apply the cat-eye effect on two accent nails, or $15 to magnetize the entire manicure. Add-on pricing is applied on top of your base service such as manicure, gel, or extensions.

When applied and removed professionally, cat-eye pigments do not damage nails. Proper curing and gentle removal protect the nail plate. Follow aftercare, avoid picking, and return to the salon for safe removal to prevent lifting or surface damage.

Adding cat-eye to two nails takes about five to ten minutes; a full set usually requires ten to twenty additional minutes, depending on nail length and base service. Your technician will confirm exact timing when booking.

Absolutely. We offer multiple magnetic pigments and polish shades; technicians can adjust the magnet strength and angle for a subtle shimmer or bold, dramatic line. Bring inspiration photos and we'll customize the look to match your style and outfit.
